Abstract: An angular adjustment device, particularly for a snowboard binding to which a disk is rigidly coupled and comprises a supporting base for a shoe. The device is constituted by first engagement elements, associated with the base, which selectively interact, through second release elements which can be operated by the user, with third coupling elements which are rigidly coupled to the disk.

Abstract: An in-line skate having a shoe connected with a frame having lateral wing pairs rotatably supporting wide tread in-line wheels structured such that when the skate is supported on a planar support surface and the skate is tilted from a vertical position in an inner direction an inner maximum laterally protruding point of an inner lateral surface of the skate shoe will make contact with the planar support surface before contact will be made with the planar support surface by the inner lateral wings, and such that when the skate is supported on the planar support surface and the skate is tilted from a vertical position in an outer direction an outer maximum laterally protruding point of an outer lateral surface of the shoe will make contact with the planar support surface before contact will be made with the planar support surface by the outer lateral wings.

Abstract: Braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. The device includes a rod member connected to the quarter and is slidingly associated with the shell. The rod member has an end which, upon a rotation of the quarter, pushes toward the ground, a braking element articulated to the frame.

Abstract: A braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. A rod member is articulated to a plate having a slot for the sliding and pivoting of rods which clamp a pair of disks laterally associated with one of the wheels, when the quarter is tilted back by the user.

Abstract: A skate with in-line wheels, having a first front body, for supporting and locking the front part of the foot, and a second rear body, for supporting and locking at least the heel, the bodies having a first frame and a second frame for supporting a plurality of wheels. The first and second bodies and the first and second supporting frames are rotatably associated to each other to allow better transmission of lateral forces during sports practice.

Abstract: A roller skate including a quarter pivoted to a shell connected to a frame supporting wheels; a brake pad is supported by a support; a cable guides a flexible actuator adapted to actuate the support upon a rearward rotation of the quarter with respect to the shell.

Abstract: Braking device, particularly for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame, wheels being pivoted thereto. The device is constituted by an elastic support having two essentially L-shaped arms that can be pivoted to the shell or to the frame. The elastic support is slidingly associated with the quarter at one end and a brake is associated with the arms.

Abstract: A braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. A rod member is articulated to a plate having a slot for the sliding and pivoting of rods which clamp a pair of disks laterally associated with one of the wheels, when the quarter is tilted back by the user.

Abstract: Wheel, particularly for skateboards or rollerskates, including a central hub with radial spokes, and a tire which is connected to the hub and which has wings arranged in the interspaces delimited by the radial spokes and the central hub. The wings are arranged to only partially fill the interspaces between the spokes such that empty spaces without material are arranged directly adjacent the spokes. The wings may have a degree of rigidity which is different than the rigidity of the outer portion of the tire.

Abstract: A binding device, for binding a shoe on a sports implement, particularly a snowboard, is constituted by a central body having two bands of different length or arranged on different planes.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a shoe, particularly for skates, entails the positioning of a soft innerboot on an adapted last and the subsequent dry assembly of a rigid shell made of plastics to the innerboot. An overlap injection-molding or pouring of thermoplastic or thermosetting material is then performed on at least part of the edge of the shell so as to affect the innerboot and the frame, in order to achieve a skate that simultaneously provides comfort for the user's foot and optimum transmission of forces at the underlying supporting frame for the wheels that are associated below the shell.

Abstract: A skate with in-line wheels, including a shoe that is associated with a frame supporting a plurality of aligned wheels connected to the frame by means of pivot members. A pair of brackets are rigidly coupled to respective lateral sides of the shoe and are associated with front and rear pivot members.

Abstract: Braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame for supporting wheels. The device includes at least one cable which connects the quarter to a braking element, so as to allow to obtain the braking action when the quarter is tilted.

Abstract: A sports shoe, particularly for skates, includes a rigid shell, and a soft innerboot; separate straps for connecting the innerboot to the rigid shell are laterally rigidly coupled to the innerboot and at least partially surround the shell. First and second flaps of the innerboot are fastened to the straps which advantageously do not affect the metatarsal and/or foot instep regions.

Abstract: A binding for snowboards constituted by a plate having side walls and a rear cuff. Straps are selectively associated transversely with respect to the side walls of the plate, to adjust the fit of a shoe arranged between the side walls.

Abstract: Skate of the type including a shell with which at least one quarter is articulated and below which a frame is associated; the frame carries a plurality of aligned wheels. A support for a first brake is oscillatably articulated to the frame; the brake is connected to the quarter by means of a rod member. A second brake is also connected to the support and interacts with at least one of the wheels beyond a selected degree of rotation applied to the quarter.

Abstract: Sports shoe with improved lateral rigidity, including a shell rigid reinforcing frame and a shell soft portion connected to the shell rigid reinforcing frame. The reinforcing frame includes bands of plastic material extending along a first inclined directrix and a second inclined directrix such that open regions are defined in the shell reinforcing frame. The first inclined directrix extends at a foot side from the tip region towards the region lying above the heel region, and the second inclined directrix also extends the foot side from the heel region towards the foot instep region.

Abstract: A braking device, particularly for skates, including a shoe composed of a quarter that is articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame to which two or more wheels are pivoted. The braking device is constituted by a substantially U-shaped elastic support that has V-shaped lateral wings; a brake pad is associated with the ends of the wings. The support also has a base that is pivoted transversely to the quarter.

Abstract: The method for obtaining a shoe entails the execution of a nonrigid sock or upper, which is tensioned by means of an adapted last to allow the coupling thereto of an intermediate member on which multiple through holes are formed and which has an optional cavity at the arch region. Then the intermediate member is placed inside a mold and at least one first injection or pouring of preferably but not necessarily compact thermoplastic or thermosetting or expandable material is performed, so as to affect at least the intermediate structural element to obtain a semifinished item below which a sole is associable.

Abstract: A supporting device, particularly for sports shoes, which is constituted by a plurality of elements that are axially and elastically connected to each other. The elements are associated longitudinally with respect to the rear region of the shoe and have a curved shape at their mutual joining region. This device allows to control the articulation of the ankle, and particularly to control the longitudinal and lateral flexibility of the shoe.
